The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Ryan... Ryan..."

Zoe grabbed the hem of the man's pants with her filthy hands. Her eyes brimmed with ghostly hatred and venomous resentment. "For that slut... For that slut... You're treating me like this all because of her... What makes her so special? I'm your sister! How can you do this to me?!"

"Yeah, you're my sister."

Ryan's voice was so mellow it seemed to blend into the darkness. His narrow eyes gleamed coldly, holding back a hint of tears.

"My own sister, whom I doted on since childhood, repeatedly stabbed me in the heart with the cruelest daggers. You didn't hesitate to tear apart my happiness with your own hands for your selfish desires. If you hated and harmed only me, perhaps I could forgive you for the sake of our sibling bond. But you tortured an innocent girl, and that girl happened to be the love of my life...

"Zoe, I've given you too many chances. Each time, I held onto a sliver of hope that you would change and come to your senses. However, I overestimated your conscience. Whenever I showed you mercy, you responded with even more ruthless and vicious cruelty toward Carrie."

Ryan closed his reddened eyes.

He kept seeing the scene of Carrie fiercely fending off Jason Solloway.

What if she had not had the strength to resist? What if she had not risked her life to fight back?

The horrors Zoe just faced would have been Carrie's fate.

"Ryan... Stop justifying your heartlessness and betrayal with excuses!"

Zoe panted heavily, glaring at him with malice. "That foolish woman had completely brainwashed you! You're nothing but a madman now... You're just like a mad dog under her manipulation! My biggest regret in this life is being your sister and not killing that bitch back then... That way, you'd live in regret forever!"

Ryan narrowed his sharp eyes, glaring at her.

He watched her shout madly, turning into a hideous monster.

"You locked me up here... Do you think you can avenge that bitch just like this? Haha... You kidnapped me right under the police's nose. They will find me soon! And Grandpa... Mom... They will all look for me... Ryan, you're done for! You're totally done for!"

"Grandpa is gone."

Despite always being calm, Ryan's voice choked momentarily when he delivered the news.

Zoe's face turned as white as plaster, her eyes vacant. "What did you just say? Grandpa... He's dead?"

Then Zoe burst into uncontrollable laughter. "Ha... Haha! Ryan, you must be lying. At this point, you're saying anything to get at me!"

"Is it even necessary for me to do that?"

The pain in Ryan's eyes floated in the darkness. "We'll be holding Grandpa's funeral the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately, you won't get to see him one last time."

Zoe's pupils shrank as panic completely overtook her. "How is this possible...?"

"Liam killed him. He stabbed him thrice."

Despair washed over Zoe, her heart spasming with fear. "No... No..."

"You aided and abetted this. You tried to use Liam to go against me and then to get rid of Carrie. But in the end, it was Liam who killed the person who loved you the most in this family. Not only that, Liam killed our father, too. He was the one who tampered with the plane crash back then."

Zoe was completely stunned. She felt as if her entire world was collapsing with a deafening roar.

"Back then, I told you more than once to stay away from Liam, that he might be the one who killed Dad. But you insisted on associating with him. Your actions, without a doubt, made you Liam's accomplice."

Suppressing the pain of losing her

loved ones, Ryan's voice was hoarse from the weight of grief "If he could kill his own father, do you think you can survive under his hand? You followed his orders to kidnap Carrie, not knowing that he was ready to ambush you. He had already set up cameras to record your vite deeds and exposed them online. You are nothing more than a pawn he can discard once you've outlived your usefulness."

Reeling from the blow to her soul, Zoe started laughing maniacally again, her gaze increasingly crazed. "So, Liam played me? Haha... What a joke! I'm not the pawn. He is! Ryan... You've gone to great lengths to morally blackmail me. Do you think that by saying all this... I'll fall into your trap and feel guilty? Don't you dare think you can stand on the moral high ground to punish me... I don't buy it!"

Ryan's handsome face remained impassive. "I'll give you one last chance. Apologize to Carrie right now, in front of me. I will show you leniency if you do so."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than bow to that bitch!" Zoe spat fiercely, defiant as ever.

"Dean."

Dean, who had been waiting outside, approached the man. "Yes, Mr. Hoffman."

"Please escort Ms. Hoffman on her final journey."

Ryan's pale lips parted slightly as he spoke. He then decisively turned and walked toward the door.
